Equipment

glass jar with lid
Knife
Cutting board
Spoon

Ingredients

1 cup fresh garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 cups raw honey
optional: ginger, lemon peel, or chili flakes

Instructions

Peel the garlic cloves and keep them whole.
Add garlic cloves to a clean glass jar, filling it about three-quarters full.
Pour raw honey over the garlic, ensuring all cloves are fully submerged.
Seal the jar loosely and store it at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Flip the jar daily to keep garlic coated and prevent air pockets.
Allow the mixture to ferment for 2 to 4 weeks before optimal use, though it can be used earlier.

Notes

Ensure garlic cloves remain fully submerged in honey to prevent spoilage. Store at room temperature in a cool, dark place. Loosen the lid slightly to release gases during fermentation and flip the jar daily for best results.
